A haul loop is usually a small piece of webbing attached to the back of some harnesses and will vary in strength depending on its construction.

Its use depends largely on its strength, the practicality of the application and your imagination.

Hi Mikhael, There are lots of options for children's climbing harnesses available right now. We would recommend a full body harness for younger children even if the added security is purely psychological. It's been a while since anyone in the office has had to wear a kiddies harness so we're are hesitant to recommend a specific one, but if you pushed us we would have to admit that the Edelrid Fraggle seems to tick all the boxes. Hope that helps, Dave
